Hi,
im looking to put a decent sound system in my rrc i have a sub woofer in a box in the boot and i am planing on getting some vogue door cards so i can fit 2 speakers in each of the front doors. i was going to put some 6x9" speakers in the roof but i don't think it is going to hold the speakers, what have you done in your rrc and where have you run your amp cables?
Cheers,
Nick

A fresh set of standard size coaxial speakers (IIRC Pioneer) and a MP3 player to cassete adapter was enough to satisfy me, but a long while ago I did weight up the ICE possibilities of a RRC. Mainly how many and how bigger sub woofers the boot could hold :hat:
One good thing about the RRC was all the wiring (apart from to the rear doors) goes via the roof so you can run signal wires via the floor away from most of the rest of the wiring loom.
It depends how you use the vehicle, the back of the rear seats, particuarly on pre 1985 models, would be a resonable place to put the amp. Another option If you want full use of the boot from time to time would be to mount the on the sub box or to a sheet of ply along side the sub box so that it can all be removed by just disconnecting a few wires and a couple of screws through the floor. For a permenant sub setup thats out of the way then making a custon enclosure for the sub and amp where the jack lives opposite the spare wheel would be a tidy option.
The head lining is not going to like the weight of 6x9's and is nothing like stiff enough to be worth mounting the too anyway. Bracing the roof lining with a sheet of ply will be easier said than done. The custom enclosure on the side of the boot, as mentioned above, could also hold a 6x9, but unless you move the spare tyre then it would be difficult to put the other 6x9 opposite it. A ply wood parcel shelf would be an easy solution, but then you loose the rear speakers if you have to take the parcel shelf out. Encosures on the D pillars by the rear seat belt enertia reels is another possibility, though 6x9s may be a tad too big to do that with.
Depedning what you want, a good set of standardish size speakers in place of the standard items would probably be just as effective as 6x9s. You already have a sub woofer, so you are not relying on 6x9s to provide the base.

MMMMMM where do we start........ :lol: :lol: :lol:
I have a 12" sub built in to the right side of the boot with seperate amp..... a 6 way Alpine slimline amp under the back seat..... 2 tweeers in the headlining, 2 x 6" Speakers with tweeters, in the back doors, 2x5" in the front doors, 2x tweeters in the corner of the front windows and 2x 8x4 in the parcel shelf, Alpine head unit in usual place, with a 6 CD changer under the passenger seat,
Wires run where you would expect, through doors, across cill tops, behind dash, in rooflining and under back seat oh, and under gearbox tunnel :roll: :roll:
A hell of a lot of OFC speaker cable and 2 feeds to the amps with 35mm cable + 3 outputs to the amps from tthe head unit
1250w from amps to 1750w speakers ;)
Oh and it remote control so i can wake the neighbors without going deaf :lol: :lol: :lol:
Range Rover Blues:
Standard RRC sub, standard 10 speaker system with new Sony X-plod headset and Nikia 4-chanel bridgeable amp, low pass filter for the subs which are rewired into 1 channel (the softies had a 2 channel sub unlike the late hard dash).
It's loud enough to ghive me a headache but you only realise how good it is when you drive something else for a while.
No car will ever sound as good as proper Hi-Fi though.
